Battle of Gettysburg

The Battle of Gettysburg was a major battle of the American Civil War that was considered the war's turning point in the favor of the Union. Confederate States General Robert E. Lee led an army into Pennsylvania in his second invasion of the north after the costly September 1862 Battle of Antietam, and when Henry Heth battled with John Buford in the Battle of Chambersburg Pike, the two full armies met in a bloody battle that left many dead on both sides. The result was a Union victory and the end of the CSA invasion of the North.
